Written by some of the founders of complexity theory and complexity
theories of cities (CTC), this Handbook expertly guides the reader
through over forty years of intertwined developments: the emergence
of general theories of complex self-organized systems and the
consequent emergence of CTC. Examining studies from the end of 1970
through to the current leading approach to urbanism, planning and
design, the book provides an up-to-date snapshot of CTC. Insightful
chapters are split into five parts covering the early foundations
of the topic, the evolution of towns and cities and urban
complexity, the links between complexity, languages and cities,
modelling traffic and parking in cities, and urban planning and
design. The Handbook on Cities and Complexity concludes with the
contributors’ personal statements on their observations of
COVID-19’s impact upon global cities.  This book will be
an invaluable resource for those researching cities and complexity
and also for scholars of urban studies, planning, physics,
mathematics, AI, and architecture.
